Getting to know Sarah Kirlik

Hi there, I'm Sarah! Dr. Sarah B. Kirlik, PhD, LCSW, LCAS-A combines decades of clinical experience with a strong foundation in medical and counseling training to support whole-person healing. Her approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, offering clients a safe space to feel truly understood and supported. My approach Dr. Sarah B. Kirlik’s therapeutic style is highly client-centered & cognitive behavioral therapy trained, ethically grounded, and rooted in mutual respect. She sees the therapeutic relationship as a true collaboration—one where both client and clinician bring unique wisdom and skills to the table. Together, these strengths are integrated to move purposefully toward the client’s goals. Her work is deeply informed by decades of intensive study across the world’s major religious texts—including the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, the Vedas, and Buddhist doctrine—as well as by time spent living within the communities shaped by them. This has instilled a foundational belief: if G-d is the only perfect being, and He created all life, then every person has inherent purpose, value, and worth. Dr. Kirlik holds that there are no divinely prescribed human hierarchies—only the sacredness of each individual’s journey. My focus Dr. Sarah B. Kirlik specializes in treating anxiety-spectrum conditions, including OCD, OCPD, Social Anxiety, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. She works with individuals ages 17 and up across North Carolina and Virginia who are voluntarily seeking therapy and are open to personal growth, insight, and change. Her ideal clients are those who are ready to engage in deep, reflective work—people who are curious about themselves and committed to uncovering their true identity beneath layers of external expectations. Dr. Kirlik works best with individuals who embrace inclusivity, value authenticity, and are willing to challenge long-standing internal and societal narratives in pursuit of a more fulfilling life.
